Waking up early in the morning may be painful, but definitely worth it. A hot summer day here often starts with a beautiful misty morning and gentle golden light. I’ve been going for a lot of country walks lately and enjoying meeting all of the animals, both wild and domestic. The curious cows in the…
Thirties Seersucker
While I should be starting the first post of 2021 with photos taken this month, I’ve still got a few photo sets taken in late 2020 to get through. Just as well, with the unpredictable start this year has started off with. Life in between lockdowns has been all about savoring any opportunity to get…
Merry Alpacas
After calling these animals llamas this entire time, I’ve now been told that they are actually alpacas…Or aren’t they? Honestly I struggle to tell the difference, to me both of these look like the same animal…especially if their woolly coats have been cut, the way these ones were. But I’ve come to the conclusion that…
Purple Pansies
Well, November sure was a huge month. I packed up my life for the last three years, renovated a unit and moved back home to Brisbane. If I had to choose between moving house again and having wisdom teeth pulled, well obviously I would pick the teeth. Every time. Because moving house is every bit…
Flower Carnival 2020
I don’t like to play favourites with the things I own, because I try my best not to buy anything that I don’t truly love. But every now and then something comes along that I think is very special. I’m sure that by now you have figured out that I’m a serial collector of pretty…
The Woman in Black
When silent era film star Rudolph Valentino died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1926 he left behind a trail of devastated fans in his wake. To this day his grave in Hollywood Forever is adorned with lipstick kisses and fresh roses, left by adoring fans who are still enjoying his films in the second coming of…
Devil or Angel
By the time October rolls around I’m usually too hung over from the year that’s passed to do anything for Halloween. Every year I plan Halloween themed outfits I want to blog and then I never get around to doing it. But for whatever reason, this year I’m feeling different. Maybe it’s the result of…
The Cherry Blossom Girl
This spot really needs no introduction, as I’ve taken photos here every September for the past few years. Except last year, because I didn’t have any outfits that complimented the cherry blossoms. This year however, I had too many options so it was hard to choose! When The Seamstress of Bloomsbury released the new Rose…
Spring 2020
I had a feeling when I put up my last post that it would be my last A/W post for this year. And here we are… The sunhat is back and so are short sleeves. Although, as you can probably tell from the tan I’m sporting – I spent most of winter in the sun….
Prim Deco Plaid
The thirties is probably the decade that’s taken me the longest to figure out. And I don’t mean the hair, I’ve given up on fingerwaves and have accepted that I’m not going to have any luck getting a good set with wave clips. Not the ones that I have anyway… What I’ve struggled with the…
